Asylum spike bucks world trend: UN report

Paul Maley & Paige Taylor; 24/3/10

The number of refugees seeking asylum in Australia jumped by almost 30 per cent last year despite global numbers remaining steady, challenging Kevin Rudd’s claim that instability abroad is behind the surge in refugee boats. As Border Protection command yesterday intercepted two more asylum boats, the third in as many days, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees released its annual report on global asylum trends.

This cartoon is not raicst; it just states the politically incorrect truth of the matter.Illegal immigration of those of a non-Jewish ethnicity poses an existential threat to Israel’s demographic existence. The danger it poses is the same reason no Israeli will ever accept the Palestinians “right of return.”Whenever foreigners flood into a Western country, whether illegally or legally, it is called multiculturalism, and to resist this and defend your country’s ethnic character makes one a raicst, bigot.However, when you reverse the roles, and have Westerners, like Israelis, Americans, or anyone else, move en masse to third world, non-White, non-Western countries, this is imperialism, colonization, and cultural genocide.Why does it seem like only theocratic backwaters, and third-world armpits have a right to exist in this world, while nations who know how to thrive, like Israel or America, have to be diluted into nothingness by laissez faire immigration.
